What will nominee Leonardo DiCaprio be carrying in his pocket Oscar night? His new Samsung Black Carbon phone to call his family to share the good news. The Blood Diamond star stopped by Kitson Men on Jan. 29th to pick up the slider phone which retails for $420. Chump change for the international star who can get cell service worldwide with this phone. Leo’s latest toy has a 3.0 megapixel camera to capture the evening’s highlights. And the sleek, black phone will go perfectly with Leo’s signature Armani tuxedo as he struts the red carpet. Can you hear me, now? The Samsung Black Carbon Phone will be sold at Kitson Men exclusively until February 28.

Rinko Kikuchi, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for her role in Babel, is definitely this award season’s Wild One.

Signature Look: Never afraid to be labled a red carpet Don’t, the Babel star pushes the envelope in dresses that are unapologetically couture. She lets her scene-stealing gowns take center stage, keeping her hair (often in an updo or soft curls) and makeup (pale lips and smoky eyes) simple.

Favorite Designers: Kikuchi has been loyal to Karl Lagerfeld, wearing Chanel dresses, shoes and fine jewelry almost exclusively the entire awards season.

What She Will Wear: Hmm…perphaps Chanel?
